Yes, very surprising. I wouldn't be surprised if this Sony Online Entertainment game will go multiplatform and wh0re itself out to all available platforms including the Nintendo DS. That will definitely be followed by a HALO3 PS3 port.

Wouldn't be a surprise if it hit PC first for the huge amounts of balancing and beta testing an MMO usually requires. With a PC version they can patch it every single day if need be, but with the PS3 version they will have to submit every patch for certification.

Based on what I heard about the actual gameplay, I don't think this could be called a real MMO (it's more like Guild Wars, PSO, or something like those). I'm not very interested in this one.

I hope SOE makes a new Everquest that's PS3/PC, I mean I doubt I'd want to play any MMO as much as I liked the original EQ, but I'd rather play a new EQ than WoW or Age of Conan (which is still coming to 360).

As far as what's actually announced, Champions Online seems cool, and I liked City of Heroes, at least for a while. I'm willing to take another go at that game.

Since this is a internally developed Sony game, I don't think they'll submit it through the same level of scrutiny as third party games.

less risks (not like ubi are particualrly great in that regard anyway) and just barrier for them to do their job. (2 Hours ago)

@Moonwalker: it would be a conglomerate and that can be creatively very limiting if they don't fully understand the industry they've just dipped their toe in by buying a major publisher. (2 Hours ago)

Also, for the first time in BioWare's history, they are finally using full facial capture to record the actor's performance. Plus its the first time the Mass Effect team is using the Frostbite engine. (2 Hours ago)

@Moonwalker: well, i'll on a leg and say its a "lie". It seems on par with DA:I, and if they think thats fine for a reveal trailer, then it doesn't bode well for the final product. (2 Hours ago)
